Suninen did very well beating both Lappi and Sordo (even considering the time issues), similarly Evans also did well, maybe expected a bit more from Lappi.

However I am bit split as to how much to praise all 3 of these for their performance since they all got there after the friday massacre and basically only ever fought with Sordo and each other. With the drivers that were typically faster than them either out (Tanak, Paddon), not really competing (Ogier, Latvala, Mikkelsen) or cleaning the road (Breen, Meeke). If these were in position to fight would that mean that Evans and co would fight for 6-7 like usual? Impossible to tell.
